IN5050 - Dolphin PCI Express Resources & FAQ
A page for resources and frequently asked questions for the Dolphin machines. If you have any other questions, please use the Mattermost channel.
The following table gives an overview of the lab machines' status in the IFI lab. The lab machines are connected to a PCI Express switch. The setup contains two Intel x86_64 machines running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and four Jetson AGX Xavier Development kits running Linux 4 Tegra (L4T) 35.3.1, based on Ubuntu 20.04.
